"i wake up every morning and I ask myself, is life worth livin or should I blast myself?-#tupac#CHOW! Ya know, I always see folks posting pics of their food and shit, and I chuckle in the dark... remembering how I used to regularly pic live roaches out the trays of slop in Kenton county detention center, I recall the stench of death as a deaf handicapped #inmate was tazed in the shower, how another inmate was strangled in his sleep and laid rotting so the cell boss could collect his trays for days before the guards realized he was dead I still hear the echoes of men being raped in the night...yet I feel the shame of societies disdain of the criminal class #codeofsilence. I remember the seeping sewage puddles that overcrowded #prisoners used to fight over soap and toilet paper. I recall the #institutionalized#racism and senseless violence. Not saying my own mistakes didn't lead me there. But I am saying it's a system of slavery and oppression. The us has more people #incarcerated than any other country, mostly nonviolent drug offense, and it's all for backwards, underhanded private profit, not rehabilitation. I used to carry alot of shame, guilt, and humiliation about being an #excon, but in reality, it taught me valuable life lessons and if we can't learn from our mistakes than what good is it? #prisonindustrialcomplex#privateprisons#wageslave#blackbloc#anarchist#anarchism#libertariansocialism#inmateart#mugshot#selfie#portrait#glitchart#glitchmafia#politicalart#abstractart
